Shootout at Mandela's House

Eyewitness News has learnt of a shootout at Zindzi Mandela's house in
Athol on Sunday evening but no official case has been opened and police
are refusing to release any details.
Eyewitness News understands that three men armed with handguns and an R5
rifle held up Madiba's relatives in Zindzi's driveway in Athol at
6.30pm on Sunday evening.
A bodyguard who was driving them back from the elderly statesman's
birthday party opened fire and may have shot one of the suspects in the
leg. The trio fled in a black vehicle.
A car fitting the description and peppered with bullet holes matching
the weapons was recovered by the West Rand Dog Unit in Honeydew the same
evening.
Curiously, eyewitnesses said men in suits, believed to be from the
police's VIP Unit, arrived at the Athol house and removed bullet casings
from the driveway and then vanished.
Despite officers from several stations responding to the shooting, the VIP Unit
undertook to open a case but that has not yet happened.
Police spokespeople have been avoiding queries from Eyewitness News
since Monday and are still yet to reveal any details, only saying an
incident did occur.
